How Good Are You At Remembering Faces?

Wow! You never forget a face!
You have stellar facial recognition. You make it your business to remember everyone you meet by "reading" their faces. Your ability to remember faces points to a deeper attentiveness. You're very aware of your surroundings and you're always present when meeting new people. You have a very high emotional intelligence and you pick up on the small subtleties when in a social situation.

I'm much better at remembering names, I struggle to remember faces if I don't have names or unusual facts to attach to those faces.

This test has very low standards. Everyone in the comments section on the quiz page also has "incredible facial recognition."

i'm pretty good at faces irl.

You hem me in -- behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.

... but as I get older, it's names I get hung up on. Meh. I used to be good with names too.

“Pleasure to me is wonder—the unexplored, the unexpected, the thing that is hidden and the changeless thing that lurks behind superficial mutability. To trace the remote in the immediate; the eternal in the ephemeral; the past in the present; the infinite in the finite; these are to me the springs of delight and beauty.” ~ H.P. Lovecraft

You Have a Good Facial Memory
You
Impressive! You remembered the majority of the faces, which means you're attentive and generally interested in those around you. However, you probably remember conversations better than faces or names. Overall you're genuinely interested in the people you meet and you do your best to remember them. Next time you meet someone new - try paying attention to their features while they speak, and associate parts of the conversation with how they look. This will put you on your way to perfect facial recognition!

You Don't Remember Faces Very Well
You may have given it your best shot, but you had a hard time. There were more than a few faces that you didn't remember. You might be suffering from what scientists term "Prosopamnesia" or the inability to learn new faces. On the bright side, every face really is a new face for you and you never have to worry about the same old faces time and time and time again! You may be overly distracted, which points to high intelligence. Take a deep breath, come out of your thoughts a bit and pay attention to those around you. We're sure next time around you'll get a perfect score!

This is very true, unfortunately, I'm not so great with names. I'll remember a face or voice after just one time but I will struggle with getting the name right.

funny though, because in the past I have done abysmally to mediocre on online EQ tests
